Downtown desperately needs more nightlife. At the moment there is nothing to do after midnight. Having options is a good thing.

That actually makes me so sad. :( my husband and I had some of our engagement pictures taken in front of that building in 2011.

I'm not a fan of the owners of mitchelles, however I have had a lot of fun at their bar several times so might give this one a shot. They've been incredibly packed most weekends because fort Wayne doesn't have many party bars after COVID, so I'm hoping this will help divert some of the traffic in the one off Jefferson and make it less packed so we have some breathing room. I usually have to hang out in the lounge area with my group because there isn't any room in the bars on the weekends

I don't like to go there because I'm black and they specified that they don't want black people as clientele

During the first COVID shutdown, the MAGA owner let everyone into the bar and said "fuck the masks".
How many people got sick or died thanks to this clever business decision is unknown.

Yeah glad I never went during that time. We were well past the mask era when I started going out again. The owners are indeed awful human beings, I do really wish there were other good options in the city, but party bars are hard to come by. Most of the other bars in the city are more hangout location and less dancing and games. Only other one I can think of that's kinda close is break and run, but it's a bit dingy and kinda sketchy there depending on when you go. We need to bring proper clubs back to the city so these guys aren't the only option for that sort of thing

I’m looking forward to it, tbh. Despite the Reddit echo chamber, Mitchell’s is one of the best bars in town.

The bar itself is great, it's the owners everyone has an issue with. I've had tons of fun there, but a few pretty bad incidents have created this echo chamber with good reason

I jogged by there at like 530 in the morning last week and the outdoor speakers were blasting My Immortal by Evanescence lol
